Plant Sentry™

Plant Sentry is designed to protect both consumers and the nursery trade from invasive plant pests and diseases. Sites that display the Plant Sentry protection badge are protected from consumers buying and nurseries shipping material carrying invasive pests and diseases.

This proprietary eCommerce software prevents the shipment of a restricted plant to each state. The Plant Sentry system includes a shipment certification program. The Plant Sentry Compliance Officer works closely with NatureHills.com and each nursery or fulfillment center to ensure only compliant plants are sold to customers.

Clouds of blossoms! There are Flowering Cherry Trees and then there are Akebono Yoshino Flowering Cherry Trees (Prunus x yedoensis 'Akebono')! Imagine walking through a grove of trees boasting some of the most amazing clouds of soft pink cherry blossoms you've ever seen!

Commonly known as the Flowering Cherry tree with the largest blossoms, Akebono bursts into clouds of blooms each spring before leaves develop! You won't miss the leaves because, with its masses of large, soft pink, semi-double flowers, the branches won't even be visible! It may be hard to paint the mental picture but it's oh-so-easy to accomplish! Akebono will amaze you in any garden today!

As the lightly fragrant flowers bloom their course, the leaves begin to sprout a lush, deep green that turns the flowering masterpiece, into a lovely shade tree for the rest of the season. As summer fades to fall, the leaves will put on a show themselves as they turn a golden yellow with orange highlights each fall.

The shape of this sizable Cherry Tree starts with a more upright form when young and quickly turns into a symmetrical stunner with a rounded crown and dense foliage.

Landscape Application:

The Akebono Flowering Cherry is often used for an early spring pop of color in larger landscapes. As a solitary (and extraordinary) specimen, or breathtaking as a mass planting but is also just as beautiful when planted in groupings and groves throughout smaller urban settings.

Either way, making sure this tree is somewhere it can be admired is an absolute must!

This deciduous beauty will surely bring curious onlookers each spring wondering how you've managed to grow such an incredible tree so full of blossoms. This curiosity won't be limited to just neighbors - butterflies and hummingbirds will flutter from near and far for a chance to snack on the tasty nectar of the cherry blossoms!

  • Enormous Baby Pink Fragrant Blossoms
  • Dramatic Spring Display Covers Branches Entirely
  • Wonderfully Fragrant - Attracts Pollinators & Hummingbirds
  • Lush Green Foliage & Golden Yellow/Orange Fall Color
  • Specimens, Focal Point Groupings, Mass Planting & Handles Urban Sites

#ProPlantTips for Care:

For such a magnificent Flowering Cherry, the caretaking required is minimal. Simply plant somewhere in full sun with well-drained soil and Akebono will thrive! It'll even tolerate light drought conditions once established! Use the Finger Test and a 3-4 inch deep layer of mulch around their root system for best results.

  • Full Sun
  • Well-Drained Soil
  • Regular Moisture Needs
  • Prune Late Winter
  • Easy to Grow

When it comes to cherry blossoms, bigger is better! The flowers on the Akebono Yoshino Flowering Cherry are definitely bigger and better! Add one or more to any landscape to create an explosion of color each spring. Order one today!
